A riddle.

"He died with a bar on his back, there was food within reach"
Who is the victim, and what happened to him?
The answer is simple.
You may ask yes or no questions.

No and no. No need for spoilers here. Work off of other peoples questions.

Was chair guy murdered?

By chair do you mean office or position? Like chair on the board?

The chair guy:-

Either he was so depressed at not having become a professor that he killed himself Razz

Or he was a lion tamer. Cool

Wow, good job there. All these questions are questions I asked myself. And smiley, I dont know if you were being sarcastic or not, but that is the correct answer. He was a lion tamer. This next one I am still working on myself, lets see if any of you have bright ideas.

A woman walked into a cafe and ordered a glass of water. The man behind the bar pointed a gun at her, and after a moment (or minute, cant remember) she thanked him and left.

Yes, its a real gun, and yes, it was loaded.
She was not thirsty, but was going to drink the water anyways.

Thank you very much.. and in response to the riddle by Transtar, he died in a bar fight. The bicycles are bicycle playing cards.

This is a good one. The answer is below... it's gotta be. It works out way too well not to be. ... So if it is, this is not a hint so DON'T LOOK if you want to figure it out alone.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
He was cheating at cards. They were bicycle playing cards and should only be 52 in a deck.
